John & Bob
Thanks so much. I hadn't put it together that I was leaning so far forward at the line.
Tomorrow I am going to concentrate on Bob's suggestion with the right leg, and the knee bend. I can't ruin this league's average anymore than it already is. And as a team we can't really move up much, so bending knee and kicking balance leg out and toe on the floor it is.
I knew that about the video, but Mr Macho Assistant Manager was working that day and NO ONE that isn't bowling is allowed in the bowling sitting area - she couldn't get close enough to get a good side shot as HE wouldn't let her stand on the lanes to get a good view. He really only allowed her in the sitting area, because I told him the last time I was there I had stuff stolen from my area and she was my protection, since they don't have any sense of security - oh, how I wanted to say "common sense", but I held it as it is a cheap, convenient place to practice.
Mr Macho sounds like Mr JERK. He needs a lesson on how to impress people so they'll go to another bowling center. ( and yes you tell him that comment came from a former center manager !!) Best time of course to get some side views is their very slow times. See if you can find out when that is, WITHOUT Mr Macho there, and drop in to shoot a couple of games with your semi-professional photographer. LOL

I hear they are redoing an alley that's not too far from me...hopefully, the prices won't be through the ceiling...and maybe they allow someone in the area with you...and maybe they will allow someone on the approach to take a pic or two!

Have you talked to the Manager in charge of the center ? if the ***.manager won't listen go right above him.
If its a Brunswick house, then call corporate. emails and snail mail is far too easy to ignore.
I had an issue with not getting my AMF 2-free game coupon (we get for being on a league)
Their assistant manager expected me to pay for the games until they corrected their own error.
I spoke to the manager and told her i was not receiving the emails and she said its fine "just tell them i will take care of it"
next time i go in and say she will take care of it i get " What is she gonna pay for your games NOW ??"
I go back into the manager and tell her the reaction i just got. Ever since have not had any more problems and her attitude has adjusted since .
Sometimes you have to be a little firm and go over their head. I swear sometimes they think it's coming out of their own pocket. Good for you !!

Funny thing...last Thursday he started down to my lane...I'm sure to oust my sister while I was warming up. He had just come up to our area, and before he could say anything, my coach came in the back door - about 4-6 lanes away. He left without saying anything to me...I guess the sight of Coach Haugen, Jr intimidated him. Maybe this will help when I go practice..."it's not what you know, but who you know" - LOL.
I had called Brunswick about a week ago and they took my "complaint", but also indicated that the individual centers can instill any "house" rule they feel is necessary to keep the center safe and in good working order...??
Found out later that the manager has been on medical leave...should be back about the time summer leagues start. I will have to have a little chat with him upon his return.
